What is CEIExSKAM?

This unique collaboration is the longest single graffiti installation in the city of Toronto. It aims to bring the spirit of the new Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship to life during its construction. The imagery reflects the rich history and global impact of engineers from the University of Toronto. It also looks toward the future, highlighting the pioneering research, transformative education and game-changing commercialization that will take place within the Myhal Centre.

Located at 55 St. George St. (one block north of College St., on the east side)

Located at 276 feet (84.1 metres) long

Total surface area of 2,208 square feet (205.1 square metres), which is nearly the same area as a standard tennis court

The mural is the longest single graffiti installation in Toronto

On display until the construction of the University’s new building is completed

The Centre for Global Engineering — which will be housed in the Myhal Centre — enables engineers to find creative solutions to the world’s most important challenges. Flags for Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore honour those alumni chapters whose generosity is helping to make the Myhal Centre a reality.

Engineers need more than technical skills to make their innovations a reality. That’s why U of T Engineering offers students a range of opportunities to develop entrepreneurial and leadership competencies that will help them succeed and lead in a globally competitive environment.

Collaboration is central to success in engineering. The Entrepreneurship Hatchery and the Institute for Leadership Education — both of which will be housed in the Myhal Centre — are just two of the innovative ways U of T Engineering is enhancing engineering education, enabling students to get their great ideas off the ground.

A major goal of the Institute for Sustainable Energy, which will reside in the Myhal Centre, is to increase energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Wind and solar energy are just two of the institute’s many research areas.

Professor Emeritus Kenneth C. Smith and alumnus Adel S. Sedra co-wrote Microelectronic Circuits in 1982. Now in its seventh edition, this popular undergraduate textbook continues to educate millions of engineers across the world.

An engineer working in Silicon Valley named Isis Anchalee coined the hashtag #ILookLikeAnEngineer. It was her response to social commentary about whether her appearance matched her profession. The hashtag became viral, showcasing just how diverse the engineering profession is today. Engineers excel in many different industries and settings — and defy stereotypes of bygone days. Take a selfie with the mural and tag it with #ILookLikeAnEngineer to join the conversation.
